2010 Winner
Third Bull Run by Steven Korbar
With great pleasure, we are happy to announce that the
winner of Lionheart Theatre’s Make the House Roar Prize
for 2010 is Steven Korbar for Third Bull Run.
Third Bull Run tells the tale of a group of perhaps the world’

those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat
it.
In addition to Third Bull Run, Steven’s full-length and one-
act plays have been produced in New York, Los Angeles,
Chicago, and throughout the United States. His drama,
Table for Four, opened at The Source Festival in
Washington, D.C. last June and will be published in Smith
and Kraus’ Best Short Plays of 2010, as will his comedy Mrs.
Jansen Isn’t Here Now. Other productions include I
Understand Your Frustration at both Little Fish Theatre in
Los Angeles and the Turtleshell Theatre in New York City
(Winner, Best Production), Let Go at Future Ten in
Pittsburgh, and Our Little Angel at the 78th Street Theatre
in New York City, as well as in Los Angeles and San Diego.
Steven lives in Torrance, California, and works primarily as
an actor, writing on the side when he doesn’t have an
acting gig.

2011 Winner
Sister Sex by Pat McGeever
With great pleasure, we are happy to announce that the
winner of Lionheart Theatre’s Make the House Roar Prize for
2011 is Pat McGeever for Sister Sex.
Sister Sex tells the tale of nun and sex therapist, Dr. Maria D’
elenci. Assisted by Sister Mo, a six-foot, 300-pound Irish nun
responsible for students’ nightmares, Sister Maria treats a
cavalcade of fascinating clients. Mix them all together and you
get a story that is slapstick, sexy, and serious. And all this
before the Archbishop finds out what’s going on!
Pat, a retired professor of political science at Indiana
University, began writing plays in 2002 and so far has written
about 20, about half of which have seen production. His work
has been produced or given readings at theaters in
Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Indianapolis, and Penobscot,
ME. His playwriting honors include winner of the Theater Non
Nobis Playwriting Contest in 2003, a Basile Playwriting
Fellowship in 2007, and semifinalist at the Future Fest in 2010.
Pat is a member and board member of Philadelphia Dramatists
Center, and a member of the American Drama Guild. A writer of
both dramas and comedies, his favorites in the latter category
include Nasal Hygiene, Prinderella and the Since, Sex Goddess
Pizza, and of course, Sister Sex.
